Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur have shown interest in Super Eagles midfielder Raphael Onyedika as they look to strengthen their squad ahead of the new season.
The London-based club are reportedly planning a significant squad overhaul following the appointment of new manager Thomas Frank, who has requested six new signings to reshape the team according to his vision.
Onyedika, 24, currently plays for Belgian Pro League outfit Club Brugge but has been linked with a move away from the club this summer transfer window.
Champions League Performances Attract Interest
The Nigerian defensive midfielder has caught the attention of several European clubs following his impressive displays in the UEFA Champions League, where his performances for Club Brugge demonstrated his ability to compete at the highest level of European football.
Onyedika was instrumental in helping Club Brugge secure the Belgian Cup last season, further enhancing his reputation as a reliable midfielder with significant potential.
This is not the first time the Nigerian international has been linked with a move to the Premier League, as West Ham United had previously shown interest in signing him as a potential replacement for Tomas Soucek.
Spurs' Midfield Reinforcement Plans
Tottenham's interest in Onyedika aligns with their strategy to strengthen their midfield options under new management. The club is looking to build a competitive squad capable of challenging for European places next season.
If the transfer materializes, Onyedika would join fellow Nigerian international Alex Iwobi in the Premier League, potentially increasing Nigerian representation in England's top flight.
Neither Tottenham nor Club Brugge have made official statements regarding the potential transfer at this time.
